The blue-collar advantage in Australia – what it means to ITI technicians and professionals in India

The blue-collar advantage in Australia

Firstly, Australia is a phenomenal place for construction workers and other tradespeople. The blue-collar advantage in Australia includes an attractive pay. An electrician working in the city can earn anywhere from $120k-$150k (between Rs.50 Lakhs and 75 Lakhs per annum). Secondly, a technician who is willing to stretch beyond and take on a full-time workload could earn more than $150k. Thirdly, even lower skilled jobs in cafes and retail command a high minimum wage with the worker’s rights being well-protected. Generally, overtime payments are high. As a result, there is excellent work-life balance with a 38-hour work week.

Ideal opportunity for ITI / Diploma holders

This is an ideal opportunity for ITI / Diploma holders who are experienced and the minimum requirement to migrate, which is the primarily based on scoring English test and less than 32 years of age:

Of particular note is South Australia which is going all out to attract migration into the state. Also, the newspaper “Australian” reports that Mr Marshall’s (Premier of South Australia) strategy to grow the population is through a greater share of the skilled migration intake. It also includes concessions for overseas students to stay longer in the south upon graduating; attract residents from the east; and win back young South Australian expats. Besides, the attractive property prices and the type of jobs that are on offer have made South Australia an attractive proposition.

What can skilled workers look forward to in Australia? A great work-life balance and fair wages!
